Team South Africa | Journey to Bronze – World Youth Fly Fishing Championships 2025 (Idaho, USA)

In July 2025, I (Matt Gorlei) had the privilege of captaining Team South Africa at the World Youth Fly Fishing Championships in Idaho, USA. This film is told from my perspective as captain, following our journey through travel, practice, and competition at the highest level of youth fly fishing. Finishing with a bronze medal was an incredible achievement for this group of young anglers and only the second team medal in South African youth fly fishing history. None of this would have been possible without the massive commitment from these boys and their families, the support of our sponsors, and the people who stood behind this team throughout the campaign. This is our story, from the water’s edge. Disclaimer: This film was captured mainly on iPhone, with some additional clips shared via WhatsApp groups. It wasn’t planned as a polished production, the idea came together afterwards. The focus is on the story and the moments, not perfect image quality.
